10. As of today you should not be getting straight-up blocked

If you’re signed out, you should see a security challenge page when visiting the site, asking you to check a box to continue. You should only see this infrequently (unless you’re clearing cookies regularly). Once you are signed in, you’re essentially whitelisted and you shouldn’t see a challenge at all.

What are you seeing when you get blocked? A blank page, cloudflare challenge, 403 error, or something else?
